Filing a Lawsuit

If no agreement is reached through conciliation, the EEOC will issue the Complainant a right-to-sue letter which requires that he or she file a federal lawsuit within 90 days of receiving the letter. In the case of the Illinois Department of Human Rights and other agencies, the charge is referred to an administrative law judge at the Illinois Human Rights Commission who will preside over the case and a hearing/trial.
